Football Accumulator Tips: A couple of cup finals in Thursday’s 5/1 four-fold

We were one goal off landing Wednesday's 18/1 acca, with only Nacional Potosi letting us down as they failed to score against Independiente.

I'm looking to go one better in Thursday's Football Accumulator Tips, and in theory, we stand a better chance, as a reduced fixture list sees this four-fold pay out at 5.24/1.

FC Copenhagen (N) to beat Silkeborg (16:00)

The last two winners of the Landspokal Cup in Denmark, FC Copenhagen (2022/23) and Silkeborg (2023/24), meet in this year's final at the MCH Arena in Herning.

Reigning Superliga champions FC Copenhagen, who have won three of the last four league titles, are favourites to lift the trophy, and for good reason. They finished 12 points ahead of Silkeborg in the 2024/25 regular season and haven't lost to them since December 2023, although they did play out a couple of 2-2 draws this season.

FCK, however, ended the campaign in terrific form, winning seven of their last eight games in all competitions, drawing the other, while Silkeborg closed their league season with a 2-1 defeat at home to Viborg.

I think FCK will just have too much firepower for their opponents, with Jordan Larsson, for example, netting in six of his last eight appearances, while the experience of players like Thomas Delaney and Mohamed Elyounoussi will come in handy.

HNK Rijeka (N) to beat Slaven Belupo (18:00)

Another cup final takes place in Europe on Thursday, with HNK Rijeka taking on Slaven Belupo in the Croatian Cup. The first leg finished 1-1 on May 14, although the sides have faced off as recently as Sunday, in the Croatian Football League, with Rijeka winning 2-0 at home to clinch the title ahead of Dinamo Zagreb by virtue of a better head-to-head record.

Rijeka will now look to achieve the double, and given that Thursday's second leg is at their home, Stadion HNK Rijeka, they stand a great chance of accomplishing that feat.

Slaven have lost on their last three visits to Rijeka, suffering a couple of 2-0 defeats there in the 2024/25 league season, and they've failed to win any of their last three away games. They drew 1-1 at Istra 1961 on April 28 and were thrashed 5-0 at Dinamo Zagreb before losing at Rijeka last weekend.

The league champions, meanwhile, have won five of their last six games at home and look well placed to make it six in seven on Thursday.

Godoy Cruz (H) to Win to Nil vs Atletico Grau (23:00)

After five games in Group D of the 2025 Copa Sudamericana, Godoy Cruz remain unbeaten, and lead second-place Gremio by two points ahead of Thursday's final round of fixtures. The Argentine side are guaranteed to finish in the top two, but need to beat Atletico Grau in their final match to guarantee first spot and bypass the round of 32.

They stand a great chance of doing so on Thursday as Grau, who will drop out of continental competition following their last group game, have picked up just a single point on their travels, losing 2-0 at Gremio and drawing 1-1 at Sportivo Luqueno. The Peruvians have failed to score in three of their five matches, and could struggle to threaten Godoy Cruz's back line at the Estadio Malvinas Argentinas.

Tomba, meanwhile, have only conceded three times, keeping three clean sheets, including in a 2-0 victory over Grau in Peru last month. Grau only managed to direct one of their 10 shots at their opponents' goal that day, and with top spot in the sights of Thursday's hosts, I'm not fancying their chances of getting on the scoresheet in Mendoza, so backing a home win to nil makes a lot of sense to me.

Gremio (H) to Win to Nil vs Sportivo Luqueno (23:00)

We end this acca in Porto Alegre, Brazil, where Gremio host Sportivo Luqueno in Group D's other game. As previously alluded to, the Brazilians need to win on Thursday to stand a chance of finishing first, while they will also hope for a favour from Grau.

Gremio started their Copa Sudamericana campaign off well, beating Sportivo Luqueno 2-1 in Paraguay and Grau 2-0 at home before drawing three straight games, a run of form that has left them trailing leaders Godoy Cruz.

However, they should be confident of returning to winning ways in their final group match, as their opponents have taken just two points, losing three times.

With Gremio keeping a couple of clean sheets in their continental campaign, including one against Sportivo Luqueno, and the Paraguayans blanking twice already, backing a home shutout is a good way to boost the odds.
